Erso - please do not use all caps. It means that you are yelling.

As for the TMAXX - is it the new version with the 2.5? If so - a complete RTR TMAXX sells for 399 at just about every hobby shop, including Tower. You can see it at http://www.towerhobbies.com

Welcome to the best rc talk site in the world!

ooops sorry bout the yelling. the truck is 399 plus all the other bs......and yes its the 2.5

 

[Candyman]

I think $399 is a good price for the 2.5, but what else does it come with that inflates the price $129?

 

[ERSO_BANKS_NYC_2_FLORIDA]

tax fuel fuel bottle umm......battery pack some other crapola.....r they bendin me over?

well being that it is traxxas - the only other thing u are going to need would be the following:
1. 12 AA Batteries - 9.99 (walgreens)

2. 1 6cell nicad pack for starter - 16.99 (durtrax 1500ma)

3. charger for nicad - 27.99 (hobbico 400 15min ac/dc fm tower)

4. fuel - 7.99quart (traxxas blue thunder fm tower)

63 bucks is roughly your total. and u might want to pick up an extra glow plug for about 5 bucks. that still brings ur total to less than 500.00.

 

[ERSO_BANKS_NYC_2_FLORIDA]

well figure tax too so i guess 528 iz bout right maybe 20 buxx too high i can live with that

 

[Nitroaddict]

well there u go - just make sure they have good support for the truck u buy at your LHS, u dont wanna spend all this money and find ur LHS
has done something like this ----> :jet:

 

[ERSO_BANKS_NYC_2_FLORIDA]

ok then i have another problem.............I'm moving to florida on may 25............but if i wait ill be broke I'm buyin tomorrow.......if i buy here in ny do u think my lhs in florida will (adopt)me? u know,if i buy all my upgrades and hopups there?

Remember this. They want YOUR business. They'll most likely take you in as a newbie and help you out. Just for the fact that everytime you break something, you'll be back.

where in FL are you moving? Might be better to save until you get here. As moving could possibly damage the truck - and its just another thing to pack. Plus you could give your hard earned money to someone local and they will like u even more.

 

[ERSO_BANKS_NYC_2_FLORIDA]

I'm moving to boca raton then to palm county somewhere.....if i wait ill wind up buying sea monkeys cuz ill be broke

 

[Çh®i§tiªñ]

Buy it in Florida. The taxes in NY are INSANE!

Plus, you want to be able to go back to the place you bought it from when it breaks. They wont forget you just dropped 500$ in their shop. Versus walking in not spending a dime and expecting help. I know, it sucks, but it helps to have bought it at the LHS you plan on getting it serviced at.

As far as price goes, its fine. 6v 5 cell hump pack?

 

[ERSO_BANKS_NYC_2_FLORIDA]

true but I'm charming lol......ill just buy a bunch of crap from em....I'm already lookin at shocks and bumpers and skid plates(look at the newjack talk lol)so after i spend a couple theyll learn 2 love me

still recommend waiting to get here in FL. I lived in Palm Beach for a while, and there are two great hobby shops there, both on Okachobee Ave. Save the taxes and shipping, get it where u will be living, just put the money in a seperate account, so your not tempted to spend it.
